Abstract: An optical device for the spectral analysis of a light source comprises   a) a spectrograph assembly (1,2,31,32) including a dispersive element (32), and   b) a classical collimator (3), the device being characterised in that the spectrograph assembly (1,2,31,32) supplies a complete intermediate spectrum at the object focus of the classical collimator and the classical collimator (3) reforms, at its image focus, an image of the dispersive element (32).   The spectrograph assembly (1,2,31,32) is preferably a Czerny-Turner or other type of spectrograph comprising an entry slit (31), two juxtaposed concave mirrors (1,2) of the same focal length and a dispersive element (32) placed strictly in the common focal plane of the two mirrors (1,2). Most preferably, the classical collimator (3) is the first mirror of a second, similar spectrograph assembly (3,4,34). The device is most advantageous in that it is readily useable for both simultaneous and sequential spectroscopy.

Abstract: Male sterility is imparted to a plant by a cascade of gene sequences which expresses a protein which disrupts the biosynthesis of viable pollen. Expression of the disrupter protein is restricted to male parts of the plant by an upstream promoter sequence which is specific to male flowers, the male specific promoter being under control of an operator sequence. The cascade also includes a gene encoding a repressor protein specific for that operator. Expression of the repressor protein is under control of a chemically inducible promoter which is inducible by the application to the plant by, spraying or like process, of an exogenous chemical. In the absence of the exogenous chemical inducer, no repressor protein is expressed, resulting in expression of the disrupter protein and, consequently, male sterility. Fertility may be restored to the plant, when required for maintenance of the line, by spraying with the inducer, resulting in expression of the repressor which binds the operator and inhibits expression of the disrupter protein.

Abstract: A pluggable electrical connector (10) is provided having contact elements (20) with first ends (32) soldered to a daughter board (40), mid-sections (36) which are crimped and bent through ninety degrees, and second ends (34) which have a converging portion and which terminate in bifurcated conical contact portions (38) which make contact with the rims of contact-quality plated through holes (51) of a mother board (50). By causing contact between the rim and the cone surface, normal forces greater than the mating force are generated. The connector housing (30) includes self-centering funnel openings (66) adjacent the mother board for centering the converging portions (37) of the contact elements (20) therein in a nominal position and for acting as a preloading stop. The housing also includes side-wall locking tabs (72) which hold adjacent rows of contacts at identical fixing points relative to the ninety-degree bend to ensure identical spring parameters for all contact elements.

Abstract: An interlock locks a plug-in unit in certain plug-in positions in a plug-in unit guide. The catch is also releasable from the outside and co-operates with a switch installed in the plug-in unit so that the latter can only be shifted when the switch is in the off position. The interlock (20) has a support element (21) in which a slide (30) and a locking bar (40) are guided at right angles to each other. The locking bar (40) has a pin (42) which engages in an inclined recess (31) in the slide (30). If the slide (30) is moved by an operating element (5), the locking bar (40) is lifted out of a catch opening (10) of the plug-in unit guide (2) and the plug-in unit (1) can then be shifted. The pin (42) of the locking bar (40) catches on the catch edge (32) of the slide (30). The slide (30) can only be actuated when the switch is in the off position, because a ram (19) is coupled by a Bowden cable to the switch. Cams (8) on the plug-in unit guide (2) lift the locking bar (42) and the catch edge (32). The locking bar (40) can then engage in the next catch opening (10).

Abstract: The tight connection fitting for a circular orifice in a rigid element is composed of a pipe in flexible material, such as rubber, whose external diameter is slightly greater than the bore of the orifice, and of a truncated cone-shaped bushing whose angle of conicity is less than the angle of friction between the two materials constituting the bushing and the pipe, and whose diameter at the base of the cone is substantially equal to the internal diameter of the pipe. The angle of conicity is, for a bushing in polyamide and a pipe in rubber, at the most 20 DEG , and preferably between 2 DEG  and 10 DEG . The bushing is introduced into the pipe so that the head of the bushing is at a certain distance from the end of the pipe; that end of the pipe is introduced by force into the orifice, and then the bushing is caused to slide inside the pipe until it is blocked in.

Abstract: A storage and retrieval mechanism for a digital image processing system employs a reduced capacity frame store in the playback device. A plurality of photographic images captured on a photographic recording medium are digitized for processing and subsequent display. Digitized images are stored on a compact disc. When the disc is inserted into a playback device for driving a color TV monitor, the playback device decodes header information representative of image orientation, so that the image will be read from the disc and stored in the reduced capacity frame store for subsequent read out and display in an upright orientation. A memory control mechanism employs a decimation/interpolation operator to interface the imagery data from the disc to the frame store. <IMAGE>
